I have news that Elena Novaretti, author of good software programs such as ZoneXplorer and Power Icons (and a known Pegasos fan and owner) is also present at Webbit Padova with a Pegasos II kindly furnished by Pegasos Italia just for the exhibition event.
We expect soon impressions of Webbit show from Elena, and news about the impact which Peggy II made to italian public.
Wow!!!
After 10 years of absence to important events here in Italy, two Amiga based platforms are there!
More! I have news that the booth by Virtual Works, Ikir Sector, Soft3, Bitplane (with partecipation by Eyetech, ZetaOS and Cloanto people) IS A DOUBLE-SIZE booth.
Very impressive.
And more, seems that (basing upon Ikir statements on the web), there are two Pegasos at Amiga booth...
Amiga has a Very Very strong presence and a lots of opportunities to impact the public at Webbit Italy.
Good news for our beloved platform.

>> And a good platform presented by a very known professional despite of her >>sex!!!
>I'm sure she is extremely talented and it's great to have developers working on
>new Amiga platforms. But AFAIK her portfolio is an icon patch and a fractal
>drawing program. It's hardly PageStream or Lightwave, is it ?
well, that's an interesting attitude! If someone wants to attract women to computers, that's sure NOT the way to do it. (I've got ideas on how, but I'm working on those myself)
anyway, The main program which got me interested in MOS is ZoneXplorer. and, as it can be used on Amiga as well as MOS, it should never be used as a bone of contention between either users. It makes beautiful fractals which I have used in a variety of projects. maybe you just don't have the imagination to know what to do with it.
Plus, the "icon patch" has allowed me to use my PNG icons - the ones I created with the help of ZoneXplorer and ImageFX, on my Amiga. So, why is this unimportant or silly in any way?
I've used Lightwave - the Amiga version - since it began, as well as the windows version for TV projects, so I know full well how powerful it is. There aren't many programs that are in that category. But Lightwave wasn't writen by one person for fun. It's years old, was first developed for a complex piece of hardware and has gone through alot of changes. Don't compare apples and oranges.
What great pieces of software have YOU written that I've found useful, delightful and fun?
If guys want women to come around to computers, try not talking and arguing like a bunch of idiots. that would help alot. And I don't mean, being "PC" that's just crap. Honesty is good. But quibbling about nonsense is a giant bore.
Here is a person - of some notable abilities - who went to a show and is extending the hand of friendship to both camps and all some people can do is make this into a negative.
how rediculous. |
